The "Deal"

chapter 4

Unlocking my car door I slide inside closing the door and buckling my seatbelt I put my hands on the wheel as I start the engine. I like driving I don't have to rely on anyone to take me places or have to make my schedule around someone else's I feel more free when I can drive.

I pull out of the school parking lot and decided I would go for ice cream today chocolate chip mint ice cream here I come. It doesn't take me long to get to the ice cream parlor as its only a two minute drive from the school. Lots of people sneak out during lunch to grab some but always end up getting caught on there way in with ice cream all over there mouths.

Stepping out of my car an locking it, I walk up to the front door and push the door but nothing happens, I look at the pull don't push sign and mentally slap myself on the four head for my stupidity. I walk inside quickly so no one could see me failing to open the front door like it's not that hard pull don't push. I pull a five dollar bill out of my pocket and walk up to a boy who looks about my age maybe a year or two older than me and order a small chocolate chip mint ice cream in a cone, handing him my five dollars I accidently drop It behind the counter, but you guessed that right?

"I am so sorry I didn't mean to drop it." I say looking down embarrassed.

"Its totally fine don't worry about it." he smiles bending over and picking up my money I clumsily dropped.

He hands me back my change an puts my ice cream in the cone, handing it to me I smile and say thank you grabbing my change and walking out the door pulling on it but it doesn't open again I mentally slap myself as the dude tells me to push I smile, well that wasn't embarrassing at all.

I take a lick of my ice cream and see a small park right next to me and head over to the swings I sit down an slowly go back an fourth, careful to save my beloved ice cream. I finish my ice cream an go a little higher before I get off the swings and head home to change for softball practice.

I changed into a worn down t-shirt with some spandex and sliding shorts along with my practice pants, throwing my hair in a messy bun and sliding on my cleats I head out the door,closing and locking it before heading to my car I dropped my keys and I bent over to pick them up when I hear whistling,

"Dang nerds got a nice buttt."I shot upward so fast I hit my head on the mirror that hurt. I look up to see Noah hit Jays arm and mumble something as they started laughing I hurry and jump in my car driving off glad my bag was already in.

Noah's POV

"Dude what's your problem?" Jay asked me as I curse under my breath.

"Dude do you even have to ask?"I say angry that he said she had a nice butt.

"Yea and until you do something about it me and Colton here will help." He hits Colton's arm playfully

Amelia's POV

Practice was great I play first base and catcher but we mainly worked on my hitting which was probably a good thing I hit the ball into the outfield a couple times a few ground balls and a couple pop fly's over all it was pretty good, but now I am exhausted and tiered and just wanna sleep so glad tomorrow is Saturday and no school I really can't handle another day in that school.

I drive home and pull into my driveway just sitting in my car for a minute when I realize Noah, Jay, and Colton are all sitting on Noahs front porch talking. What am I gonna do what am I gonna do I could sit here and wait till they go inside or I could make a run for it I think ill make a run for it. I grab my car keys and open my door and lock it, fast walking to my door I am about to reach the first step when Colton calls my name I keep walking when someone tugs me back. Dang how do they get hear so fast like seriously am I that slow of a walker?

I turn to see a smirking Colton.

"Well well well where have you been isn't it a little late for your bedtime?" he laughs

I look down and pull my arm back and start walking back to my door by this time all three boys have come onto my yard. I really need to get a no trespassing sign.

"I am curious Amelia you know people are talking about you, you know what people are saying how come you don't say something back or even run or cry or do something you just sit there and take it I am curious." Jay says tilting his head a little to the side, rubbing his chin as if he was amused.

I step back down on in front of them crossing my arms as I heave a sigh.

" If I fight back or run or cry it gives y'all the satisfaction of winning and will constantly continue if I pretend like it doesn't bother me one day you will get board and leave me alone at least that's what I am hopping."

"And what if no one stops?" I look up to meet Noah's eyes

"Well then I guess high school will just suck the rest of the year." I shrug

"Well your actually pretty cool well little amount of what I've seen but I got to go ill cya later man bye Amelia." he says giving a bro hug to Noah

"same." Colton says next

I walk up the steps again wanting to just sleep for days but before I could

"Hey Amelia i'll make a deal with you." I turn around and give him the I am listening look

"Ill teach you to be more confident in return you do my homework the rest of the high school year." "deal?"

"Don't I already do that?" I ask a little confused

"Well ya but this time I wont have to stress about you not doing it, like the one you didn't do for science."

"Noah you already make straight A's why do you need me?"

"Doesn't mean I wanna do it so what do you say?"

I sit there wondering If I should take his deal or not I mean he's the reason everyone teases me I don't know but If I do ill be more confident in standing up for myself and maybe people will just leave me alone.

"Fine."

"Oh and one more thing know one knows about this we act the same around people I don't need my reputation going down for helping a dork."

I roll my eyes and nod it's not like I want to be seen socializing with him anyways, he walks back to his house and I walk into mine I close the door and lean against it.

I just made a deal with the devil.
